How Jessintha Nathan’s Aviation Career Took Flight

February 05, 2018
To promote fresh thinking, new ideas and perspectives in STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Mathematics) sectors, many companies, and organizations are encouraging young women to pursue STEM-related careers. It’s estimated that women account for less than a third of those employed in STEM R&D jobs around the world today.

GE engineers recently built and tested 30 different prototypes of a complex, football-size jet engine component. Thanks to cutting-edge 3D-printing technology, they were able to reach the perfect design in just 12 weeks. This is remarkable considering it would take several years to iterate on that many designs using traditional casting methods.

"Stephen Erickson was just 13 years old when he fell in love with planes — inside a Boston movie theater. He was watching aircraft mechanic Joe Patroni, played by George Kennedy in the original “Airport” movie, extricate a Boeing jet full of worried passengers from a snowdrift. “That moment was the spark that changed my life,” he says. “I wanted to build aircraft engines.” He enrolled in a technical school and joined GE Aviation, where he has become an ace test engineer — a real-world Patroni.

Back To The Future: This Pointy-Nosed Plane Could Make Jet Set Feel Supersonic Again

The Concorde, the iconic pointy-nosed supersonic jet that shuttled passengers between Paris, London, New York and other choice destinations, landed for the last time 14 years ago, after 27 years in service. The only civil supersonic airplane to enter service apart from Russia’s TU-144 jet, the plane was never replaced. “The Concorde was successful from a technical standpoint, but in terms of economics, it was too expensive to operate, its range was limited, it was noisy and its fuel consumption was high,” says Jeff Miller, vice president of marketing at the U.S.

Plane speaking, genuine, formidably qualified, Keren Rambow touched down at GE Aviation in April 2016. Within 18 months as sales director of Commercial Engines and Service Sales in the South Asia Pacific Region, she had orchestrated the ideal suite of engines and services to power growth for Fiji Airways, negotiated a complex engine-support restructure for Qantas and Jetstar, and started an Australian chapter of the International Aviation Women’s Association.

Sometimes you have to be more than super to be No. 1. For four decades, Sikorsky’s CH-53E Super Stallion ruled the American sky as the nation’s largest and most powerful helicopter. But the next-generation version of the chopper, the CH-53K King Stallion, is now champing at the bit.

An Epiphany Of Disruption: GE Additive Chief Explains How 3D Printing Will Upend Manufacturing

Jet engines are large and complicated machines. But sometimes surprisingly small parts can make a big difference in how they work.
A decade ago, engineers at CFM International, a joint venture between GE Aviation and France’s Safran Aircraft Engines, started designing a new, fuel-efficient jet engine for single-aisle passenger planes — the aircraft industry’s biggest market and one of its most lucrative.

Aviation is arguably the most advanced of all data-driven industries, collecting terabytes of data from the thousands of aircraft circling the globe and carefully organising and constantly analysing it in the pursuit of safety and efficiency.
Big data reveals insights to drive the Industrial Internet, but small data has impressive powers of persuasion, too.

The scene plays out on Oct. 15 at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, dull, annoying and all too routine. A gate agent announces the flight to St. Louis will be delayed. The crew has to summon a new plane because of a failed part. The passengers groan resignedly. Finally, 90 minutes later, the departure.

At 15, Josh Mook got a job refueling planes and handling bags at a small airport near his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. He’d work eight hours a day after school, then blow his earnings every Saturday taking flying lessons. “I couldn’t even drive myself there,” Mook recalls. “But I was flying solo.”
